The Fire Burns

The fire burns

Turning bones to ashes

Tears turn to blood

That pools at the feet

Clouds hide the full moon

There will be no moonlight

Glinting off the steal

Tonight the world sees it

All through the eyes of me

The pain, misery and disgust

The screams are no longer silent.

Barely treading water

In this river of blood. 

Turned upside down

It's a new life 

One without a happy ending.

Came into this world alone going through it

And dying alone can anyone see

The world through

My eyes and survive it?
